Reluctant sale as this car has become part of the family, so currently offered only on the forum - I want it to have a nice home

Z4 3.0 si SE coupe
Very rare Bright Red original paintwork - one of only 6 in the UK
Manual 6 speed gearbox
'57' plate, registered Sept 2007
72,500 miles - averaged circa 9,500 a year for 7 year 7 month old car
4 owners including original BMW dealer and ourselves
Black Oregon Leather upgraded electric sports seats
Isofix fittings and Airbag deactivation button
Price to Forum member £8,950

Straight 6 N52 engine with 261 bhp
Standard equipment includes ABS brakes, Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill-start assist, CD player, Air Conditioning, Two cup-holders, Aux-in, auto-lights, auto-wipers etc.

Serviced in accordance with on-board notifications with Inspection 2 being the latest at 60,000 miles in Sept 2013 - previous to that oil service in July 2011 at 43k, Inspection 1 in Aug 2010 at 38k, oil service in June 2009 at 20k. Sythner BMW in Nottingham until 2010, then at out local trusted Indy since we acquired it. Priced to reflect oil service due in approx 5k miles

Latest MOT 24 Sept 2014 passed with no advisories at 68,285 miles - previous to that 09/13 at 59,972, 09/12 at 55,549, 09/11 at 45,683, 09/10 at 39,042.

We acquired the car in June 2011, and it's been superbly reliable and great fun. The straight six makes a great noise, and the colour is a real head turner. In addition to being a daily driver, its also been taken to Switzerland, France etc every summer with no concerns or reservations.

We chose the SE as the suspension sits very slightly higher and is less prone to the harsh ride that the sports version is sometimes criticised for, and the ride has been improved further by ditching the runflats.

Great condition for its age, with very few stone chips, slight bolster wear, and misty fog lights to show for it's miles.

Currently on a private registration plate, but will be returned to BN57KMF (presumably) upon sale.

Recently fitted with :
BMW OEM 18" refurbished ellipsoid wheels with Goodyear F1 asy2 non-runflat tyres.
BMW OEM cruise control
BMW OEM chunky sports steering wheel (with deactivated buttons)
Custom leather centre console and dual-colour leather dashboard - Pickerings of Bradford having covered the original bright silver panels for us.

Photo from Silverstone parade lap (the only time it's been on-track) lots more in the various meets and events - it's the only Bright Red Coupe I've seen on any runs we've been on.

Pictures taken yesterday when dull and rainy don't really show the paint at it's best - will take more if the sun ever appears

You can take my place at the bottom of the table while i move up from TT status :P
Hope the Lotus is all you both want :thumbsup:
 
I thought mine sold quick - over a weekend but same day - that is outstanding Ruth ! All the best with the replacement & hope to see you both soon. :driving:
 
I think a small period of mourning may be in order before I can bring myself to look, but it will be an Evora not an Exige

Sold to a lovely family which made the parting process easier - just hope he behaves as well for them as he has for me - and hopefully I may see him out on meets :oops:
